(1) Get off your high horse. Rubber domes are far from being a pile of turd.
I can write fast, play games and everything on my rubber dome and feels just right.
Don't think that because I have a rubber dome keyboard I'm trying to protect all rubber domes now. I'm not... Its just that in the end, even a rubber dome keyboard fulfills its purpose very nicely and, IMO, better than a mech one. I, for one, don't like the click they make (mechs).

I did a typing test on an Apple aluminium keyboard and got about 100-110 WPM, which is about as high as I get on just about any of my mechanical keyboards. It's not particularly accurate to say that switching to a mech keyboard automatically makes you quicker at typing compared with a non-mechanical of decent quality and condition.

No one should pay more then 50$ for a dome keyboard, a 10$ dome will perform just as good as any G15 or similar 100$+ dome keyboard with fancy screens and other gimics.

Agreed. There are definitely some higher quality rubber dome keyboards, like Keytronics, but even they aren't that expensive.

They're one of the best readily available mechanical keyboards. Thankfully the one I getting today is the best of the 3. That being said, there are better, but damned if they aren't a pain to get for me.

The one I am getting today, I got for 70$ through Das Keyboard's replacement program. Once she told me that I was like "kk here's my credit card."Edited by aynjell - 1/14/11 at 12:56pm
